Channel Chasers is an animated film made by Nickelodeon, featuring characters from The Fairly OddParents television series. In production order, the movie is divided into 3 parts, each of which were approximately 22 minutes. Alec Baldwin voices older Timmy.
The story starts twenty years into the future, where Vicky has taken over and become dictator (A parody of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany). There is a chase scene, with the future Chester and AJ being pursued (and caught) by one of Vicky's henchmen, who Vicky then sends back into the past (a parody of The Terminator). It then goes back to the present, where Timmy's parents refuse to allow him to watch TV after he wished for a real version of a destructive vehicle known only as the "Kid Crusher" from his favorite TV show, Maho Mushi (Japanese: Magic Insect) (a parody of Dragon Ball) and things went horribly wrong. He then wishes for a magical remote control so that he can go inside the "TV universe".
However, Vicky also gets a hold of a remote control, and Timmy has to stop Vicky from taking over the entire world through the TV, going through parodies of famous TV shows such as Scooby Doo, Rugrats, Charlie Brown, The Jetsons, The Simpsons, and Blue's Clues, although he is aided by his future self, who came back from the Vicky-controlled future to stop her once and for all.
Meanwhile, Timmy's parents have noticed he has disappeared and are searching for him. They receive information at a parking garage from a shadowy person known as "Deep Toot" (a spoof of Watergate spy Deep Throat) and for the first time the parents learn that Vicky is actually evil. They then ask at "Dimmadelphia Cable," the local cable TV provider (spoof of Adelphia Cable), where they sneak into the broadcast room and send a message out to Timmy.
During a showdown with Vicky, Timmy's future self is forced to return to the future due to Vicky destroying the time travel belt, leaving Timmy determined to defeat Vicky. Realizing that magic is the only reason she had the advantage, Timmy uses the remote to age himself so that he becomes too old for Cosmo and Wanda, resulting in all residual effects of their magic- including the remotes- being erased. With Timmy's proper age restored, he then comes out of the TV. His parents apologize for never believing him about Vicky and tell Vicky off for being so evil to Timmy. Because his parents now know the truth about her Timmy will never have to be babysat by her again. However, Timmy realizes that it is because of Vicky he got fairy godparents so rather than get rid of Vicky, he wishes that nobody would remember this, as with Vicky gone he might lose Cosmo and Wanda.
The movie ends soon afterwards with a scene that flash-forwards to 20 years into the future with his children having Cosmo and Wanda their fairy godparents as well as being babysat by a Vicky-like robot.
